Yes, yes, and about what you would've paid otherwise: probably close to
$500. You can probably do it yourself cheaper, but bear in mind that it's as
much fun (or hassle, YMMV) as putting Euro lights on a car. You definitely
need heavier duty wiring, etc. You may want to check with your local dealer
about whether they would warranty their install, because my A6's headlights
are under warranty (if the Xenons blow, they get replaced free, which is
great, because they ain't cheap!).

So seriously worth it that I'd pay the money in a heartbeat. Ask to drive
one of the lot cars w/ Xenon at night if your local dealer is open that
late, and you'll know it.

Best regards,
Brad
